Plaud and Dailies answer two different needs, and this page says so from the start. Plaud is first a family of AI voice recorders, made for in-person conversations and phone calls, with an app that transcribes and summarises. Its desktop app does the same for online meetings, in audio. Dailies is a Chrome extension that records the video calls you hold in Chrome and cuts captioned vertical shorts from them. If you need a record of what was said, wherever it was said, that is Plaud. If you need video to post, that is Dailies.

Dailies
For people whose video calls hold their best advice and who want it as captioned vertical shorts, without filming anything.

Plaud makes AI voice recorders (Plaud Note, Note Pro, NotePin) for in-person conversations, with an app that transcribes and summarises what they record. Plaud Desktop does the same on the computer: it captures the audio of online meetings without adding a bot or joining the call, and detects Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams in the browser, the Zoom and Teams desktop apps, Slack huddles, Cisco Webex and Lark. Along with the audio recording, it generates transcripts, summaries, answers to your questions through Ask Plaud, and mind maps; the highlights marked during the meeting, the notes and the screenshots are kept with it, and the audio, transcript, summaries, highlights and mind map can be exported. Transcription covers more than 112 languages, one language per recording: a recording that mixes languages is not transcribed as mixed. Plaud Desktop’s interface exists in ten languages, French among them. Plaud advises giving the people you record a heads-up first.
Plaud starts from a device you carry: its recorders are made for in-person conversations, and its desktop app extends the same workflow to online meetings. Dailies starts from the video call and stays there: it records only the calls you hold in Chrome, on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom’s web client. A meeting across a table or a phone call is Plaud’s ground, not Dailies’.
Plaud Desktop captures a meeting’s audio and keeps it, with a transcript and summaries. It is an audio recorder, so it has no picture to make a clip from; its highlights are moments marked during the meeting, which guide its AI. Dailies records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam, the webcam on a track of its own, and each short shows whoever speaks, vertical and captioned.
Plaud’s help centre says its transcription handles one language per recording, and that a recording containing several languages is not transcribed as mixed-language content. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed. Plaud covers many more languages, over 112; Dailies handles French and English.
It records away from the computer, on a device made for that. On the computer, it captures meetings held in desktop apps such as Zoom, Teams, Slack or Webex. It writes summaries and mind maps, and answers questions about a recording. Dailies writes no meeting notes, summaries or action items, records only the calls you hold in Chrome, and makes only shorts.
No video recording appears on the Plaud pages we read: its recorders and Plaud Desktop capture audio, which Plaud turns into transcripts, summaries and mind maps. Dailies records the picture as well, the call tab and your webcam, because what it delivers is video: captioned vertical shorts.
Yes, as audio. Plaud Desktop detects Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams in the browser, as well as the Zoom and Teams desktop apps, Slack huddles, Cisco Webex and Lark, and captures the meeting’s sound from your computer without adding a bot or joining the call.
No. Dailies only records the video calls you hold in Chrome, on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom’s web client. For a conversation in person or on the phone, a voice recorder such as Plaud is the right kind of tool.
Not as mixed-language content, according to its help centre: transcription covers more than 112 languages, with one language per recording. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
